Question 1

is it possible for you to get a hernia below a breast?

Accepted Answer

Very rarely: Hernias can occur in many parts of the body. Most commonly hernias are seen around the umbilicus, groin, or the abdomen.  Diaphragmatic hernias are those that arise in the respiratory muscle that separates the abdomen and chest.  Rare hernias occur between the ribs but are generally seen after prior surgery.  An evaluation with a physical exam and possibly a ct scan can diagnose a hernia.

: Likely the nipple discharge is a side effect of levosulpiride.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

This is unlikely to: be a hiatus hernia but is clearly not a normal finding. You need to be examined and probably have some testing done to find out what is going on. Make an appointment for evaluation soon.

Question 4

when my stomach swollen & heavyness then my breast also swollen & become heavy why it happenes.i have small hiatus hernia + gerd.

Accepted Answer

May be 2 problems: The symptoms you describe may be 2 differnt problems.  The abdominal bloating and breast heaviness may be related to changing hormones, specifically the estrogen and Progesterone levels. You should see your gynecologist for an exam and to have your hormones checked.  A hiatal hernia and gerd will give you symptoms of reflux-heartburn, chest pain, chronic cough... It does not cause breast swelling.

Question 5

i have a hiatal hernia. for the last hour or 2 ive had pain where my hernia is, it comes and goes. and every time i get the pain my nausea gets more severe. i also have slight chest pain under my left breast. is that just reflux from the hernia too?

Accepted Answer

: Hiatal hernia and associated reflux are the likely explanations for your symptoms. 
If you are overweight, losing weight would help.
You should consult your doctor to ascertain if surgical correction for the hernia may be warranted, It could be laparoscopic procedure.

Question 6

how would i know i have a hiatal hernia? i get heartburn in stomach area and the middle area below breast. i am 19. im get nausea (taking medication)

Accepted Answer

Hiatal Hernia: requires testing through your doctor.  Please see him/her.  There are other possible causes for your symptoms.  If your doc wants to put you on a PPI med, please ask about short-term use only or for natural / nutritional alternatives.  Peace and good health.

Question 7

can a hiatal hernia causes lung pain and pain below the breast bone?

Accepted Answer

Typically no, but...: A truly sizable hiatal hernia may be contributory to your symptoms.  Is it fixed, sliding, para-esophageal?  Before you consider surgery for the hiatal hernia and its manifestations of gerd, have you tried and failed appropriately-dosed acid blocker agents and anti-reflux diet modification?  Has a ph study and manometry been considered? Does your stomach empty normally?

Question 8

the burning pain under left breast from acid reflux is now radiating to my back. could this be something worse like an ulcer or hiatal hernia?

Accepted Answer

Epigastric pain. : Your epigastric pain can be related to GERD but you must have a doctor examine you to make sure it is not cardiac related.

Question 9

muscle spasms under right rib cage with something bluging like a hernia below the breast bone. sometimes i have to push it back in.sever pain.

Accepted Answer

Interesting: It is hard to answer this without more information and an exam.  I would like to know your age, history of surgery, or cough.  
It sounds like it may be a hernia but it could be simply muscle spasm causing a bulge that comes and goes. 
It could be an abdominal hernia.  It could also be a herniated lung.  
It does need to be evaluated you a physician very soon.

Question 10

i sometimes have a burning in stomach below my breast bone a little to the left.  sometimes it feels like a pulled muscle.  could this be a hernia?

Unlikely: Hernia in the location will present with a bulging mass rather than burning pain
